Smiley Lincs... Updated

I’m on a mega high today despite the fact that I don’t really know whether I’m coming or going, I’ve been to hospital again and this time I’m pleased to say I came out smiling with GOODRESULTS, ALLCANCERCELLSGONE……..I needed to shout that bit, lol…

I don’t need another op, my remaining lymph nodes were clear and I get to keep them, okay I’m still recovering as you can imagine, still on light duties and also have my 15 days of radio therapy to get through, that should start within the next month, I am not worried about that, the way I see it thats to keep me on the right track…

I’ve been to see the Oncologist and its official, I am allowed in my garden, YES!!!!!
He was pleased with my progress, said my arm movements were very good, I admitted I had done a bit of pottering already, he said that was good and he wanted me to spend time in my garden, I didn’t need telling twice, they have upped the dosage though, its now 19 days but won’t start for about 4weeks, now I have to perfect the art of breathing in and holding my breath for at least 25 seconds, more if I can manage it, still cannot do the ironing though, lol….

So happy for you Sue,the best news you could ever have,I'm sure..and for your loving family too..That Rainbow is heading for Cloud Nine,,with you on it :) Only the next bit to get through,then you can get on with your life,and your garden :o) xx

Thankyou all, I nearly hugged my consultant but managed to control myself in time and made do with grasping her hand, I haven't come back down to earth yet, in fact I have a mega headache but I think thats because I have been so tensed up waiting for today, nothing a good nights sleep won't cure, now I can see myself being back out in the garden properly in a few months, I'm not taking any chances though and going to be very good, the rest of the year is for pottering and deadheading...

So very pleased to hear your news Sue, and yes I can understand your joy, and wanting to shout it.Take it steady now though,don't overdo things too quickly,like Hywel says"This is the first day of the rest you life".....Enjoy xx

I know Pam, I actually managed 49 seconds today but crumbs it was hard, I honestly do not know how I will manage when its a case of having to do it, lets face it practising at home is completely different because we are relaxed, apparently its to make my heart shrink whilst they are zapping my chest, its surprising the things I am learning along the way, lol....

Thanks Neellan and Ba, I've been back today for my scans and now have my timetable for the treatment, I start on Sept 3rd and finish on the 29th, thats completely wiped out Sept for me but heyho! its progress isn't it..I am putting the ironing on hold for the rest of the year, lol...
